One-of-a-Kind Twins: A Primordial Dwarf and Her Sister. Plus, Million-Dollar Collections
Wednesday, March 07, 2012
Meet one-of-a-kind twins, Sienna and Sierra Bernal, the only known pair of twins in which one is average size and the other a primordial dwarf.
At 13 years old, Sienna stands under four feet tall and weighs only 38 pounds. Anderson speaks with the twins and their parents to learn more about the challenges they face every day and what makes primordial dwarfism so unique.
Plus, meet a couple from TLC's "My Crazy Obsession." Both are addicted to collecting Cabbage Patch dolls; they own more than 5,000 dolls and have spent more than $1 million on their obsession.

I have a whole room filled with Popples, Hello Kitty, Pillow Pets, baby toys, books and clothes and it looks like a store. The weird thing about it is that my sons are 28 and 29 and haven't lived at home for close to 10 years. I started this collection after they left. It started with the Popples and Hello Kitty and it just kept growing. I have this obsession of being a grandma and I have a whole closet filled and plastic bins with baby clothes and books and toys. The room is pink and green and bright and cheery, but with that said..... I do not talk to the stuffed animals. My 28 year old son used to bring his friends over to do photo shoots in there. It is my favorite room in the house.
This was a very interesting show. I am concerned about the family with twins. They should let each daughter shine as their own individual as well as together. They each probably have great and unique qualities about them. I think that the cabbage patch family collectors are very interesting as well. It would be nice to be so passionate (not sure if I spelled that correctly) about something. They seem to have a lot of joy in life collecting these dolls.......it would seem that it would be nice to enjoy something as much as they seem to....
Re: McCain interview on 3/7/12
McCain advocates creation of a coalition to attack Syria.
Instead, why not help the Arab League (that wants an end to this violence in their neighborhood anyway) do the job themselves? America has armed those nations to the teeth; let them use what we've sold them.

Anderson,
Are you or your staff able to provide me with Pat and Joe's email address? I mean, so I know it's really them? I have a story for them. It's about a loved one's bond with a particular cabbage patch kid named Allison. Maybe Kevin and Allison could become pen pals? lol. But seriously, I know a couple who have a cabbage patch baby named Allison. She is very much a part of the family. She has been known to take trips with this couple in the past, but they make her stay in the hotel room....hahaha. I really think that Allison and Kevin would hit it off. She is the only child, though, so she does not know what it's like to have 5,000+ siblings like Kevin does.

I never saw an astronaut Cabbage Patch Doll in the 5,000. I have one that I am not sure my son wants. It is from about 1987.
